Karen They are so cute in your s'caps with those crates on their heads ~ always reminds me of like Winnie the Pooh
Mei was so funny, yes a new dance like you said, this time in the corner moving all around and somersaulting, and not just against the window/wall 2-step rocking like she usually does ~ need to find that video and make a movie of her. I saw Mei & Bei both eating a delicious fruit too, will find s'caps ~ Bei becomes mesmerized on the yellow pineapple? and doesn't hardly ever even move, they are precious funny set-in-their-ways bears :rh:

:vid: 7/27/18~National Zoo Mama Mei's New Dance~3.40 min < Video link
Mama Mei has always done the rocking-back-& forth two-step dance at the window door ~ but here she does that plus, many more moves, all over the den like somersaulting, rubbing head and face, shaking boo piles, walking around/against walls, lots of fun! They may have given her favorite scent, or maybe Tian has been scenting, or maybe she just got in a real good mood!

Giant panda Bei Bei celebrates his birthday at the Smithsonian's National Zoo with a cake. Photo Credit: Roshan Patel/Smithsonian's National Zoo
Bei Bei turned 3 years old today! In celebration of his big day, Bei Bei enjoyed an ice-cake, participated in an enrichment painting session and received a new panda-friendly toy.
His cake was specially made by the Zoo’s department of nutrition sciences and included all of his favorite foods. The tiers were made of diluted apple, cranberry and grape juice with leaf-eater biscuit puree. It was decorated and filled with apples, pears, bananas, shredded carrots and cooked sweet potatoes. The number 3 that topped the cake was made of diluted apple juice with a leaf-eater biscuit puree center.

Now weighing in at almost 215 pounds, Bei Bei has been taking full advantage of his summer—splashing around in his big green tub, and napping in trees and on his new hammock.
:cake: Tian Tian is the next giant panda to celebrate a birthday. He turns 21 on Monday, Aug. 27 and will also receive a special cake at 11 a.m.

"Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach." — Aristotle
World Teachers' Day, also known as International Teachers Day, is held annually on October 5.Established in 1994, it commemorates the signing of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which is a standard-setting instrument that addresses the status and situations of teachers around the world.

After seeing today was World Teacher's Day, I found this article on it. We probably all have had our favorite teachers in our lives, and we have David Hancock, and all who share about the marvelous nature we enjoy, on this forum, so....
:bravo:
Happy World Teacher's Day to All of You & since I'm in a thankful holiday mood also..
Happy Columbus Day Weekend
(^ October 8 >) &
Happy Thanksgiving Day Canada
